4 Steps to Generate Revenue From an Online Course

With the rising costs of higher education, more people than ever are choosing an alternate route for learning.

As a keynote speaker, you can take advantage of this trend (that won’t be slowing down anytime soon) and ride the wave to more income in your pocket.

It’ll solve several problems for your keynote speaking business too – having to trade time for dollars, booking more and more speaking engagements, and trying to land higher-paying speaking engagements.

B. Pre-Sell The Course

“Coming soon” page. This is a page that explains what your course will be. Send a link out to your email list and run some ads and see if you get any bites.

Develop An Outline. You can “sell” the course you haven’t yet created by coming up with a detailed outline. This way, people know what they’re getting and they’ll invest in the course. Here are a few tips to follow:

Decide what each lesson will cover. Each lesson should bring your learners one step closer to the objective of the course.

Make sure you’re not stuffing too much content into each lesson. Try to keep them within the 5-10 minute range.

An outline is a great way to pre-sell your course. Once you “validate” interest in your course, then you can start working on creating the course content.

Step 3: Develop Stellar Content

The truth is, your first course might not look fabulous.

But if the content is offering value, it doesn’t matter.

So don’t worry about creating or paying for something that’s highly designed and flowery.

Something simple with lots of white space will work fine.

Provide practical, step-by-step guidance and instructions and your audience will eat it up.
